Cuba Crisis Escalates: Havana says it has “absolutely none” of crude oil and diesel left, after a U.S. fuel blockade triggered rolling blackouts and street protests demanding lights on. Diplomacy Turns Unusual: CIA chief John Ratcliffe made a rare visit to Havana, with Cuba insisting it’s not a security threat and that talks focused on law-enforcement cooperation and “fundamental changes.” Aid Offer Meets Suspicion: Cuba accepted a reported $100M U.S. humanitarian package routed via the Catholic Church, but warned against political strings while urging Washington to lift the energy blockade. Legal Pressure Builds: U.S. officials say the Trump administration is moving to indict Raúl Castro over the 1996 “Brothers to the Rescue” shootdown, described as imminent. Regional Fallout: Bolivia’s general strike against President Rodrigo Paz intensified in La Paz, with road blockades, clashes, and reports of dynamite as anger over the worst economic crisis in decades grows. Politics Beyond Borders: Trump and Xi traded claims on “decline” during their summit, while Elton John mocked the “51st state” idea—first about Canada, now shifting talk toward Venezuela.
